Description THREE LIDDED FRENCH WINE MEASURES – 2 ANTIQUE, 1 repro.   Again offered as three because of some difficulties with one, one is a good repro, and the third a nice little antique measure.   The largest is a decilitre, it is damaged for about 4 cms to the base to the left of the handle. It has an aged oxidised mixed patina, and needs showing pointing to the left as that is it's best side!.   The middle one is based on a Normandy lidded wine measure and may be a replica it is a nice little piece standing 6cms to the lid, and it is in good condition. For a selection of small pieces this would be a nice addition.   The Double Decilitre is again about 6cms to the lid it is genuine and a nice little piece it has makers marks to the base (indeed each piece has) this one says L H incuse within a tablet shape.   This lot is worth buying for the two small measures treating the larger one as a novelty and perhaps if displayed you might put its good side to the front!   They weigh together at about 406 grams.     UK cheques are also accepted in payment. My eBay shop now has items of pewter, wood, copper and brassware for sale please use the links above on the right or left hand sides below or across from the photos These should enhance any period display at home, in a pub, restaurant, hotel or heritage building.   For those who might begin to develop an interest in ANTIQUE BRITISH PEWTER might I suggest you access my information only web site at www.pewterbank.com   I really DO welcome additional articles, advice, and suggestions for new and recent collectors and will add these to my website from time to time. (It does take time and is better when there are a few together to add…)   POSTAGE (OR SHIPPING) PRICES My individual postage charges include about £2 so that I can pay for help to send all orders quickly and recover a little on bought in packaging. Consolidated shipments of several items to one UK business address are less expensive – please ask. Overseas I am pleased to quote a shipping cost for Royal Mail Airmail/Airsure Services, I guide buyers to look at www.royalmail.com and follow the pricing route to estimate costs. For my pewter I find that I add 50-70% - depending on size and on how the piece needs protecting - to the weight of the piece for packaging materials (and I usually quote the piece weight in the eBay copy so I can calculate shipping more easily) So if it weighs 500gms I look at the 750 gm rate or next band 1 kilo rate depending on what needs good protection. This is mentioned here so you can try it for yourself - but I am always pleased to quote - a firm price. And I am happy to work with anyone who can do it better at their own risk, through their own contacts.   Place a Bid!
